This is why choosing an optimal time for these will help our clients reap some of the most beneficial rewards the stars have to offer in terms of both fulfilment and longevity.

One event many couples will seek a propitious time for is their wedding day. As one of the most important days in a person life, their wedding marks the start of a time they need confidence there will be growth, stability and joy. Let’s have a look at the planetary alignments of some short-lived marriages and whether they can offer any insight into them.

Brad and Angelina’s Two-Year Marriage

The main thing that piqued my interest about the divorce of Brangelina, was that they had already been together for twelve years, lived together as a couple and had shared six children Angelina filed for a divorce just two years after their wedding, citing irreconcilable differences. For a long-term relationship to be moving along beautifully enough to lead to marriage, only to fall apart so quickly after wedding vows were shared, made me wonder which aspects may have been transiting between the planets on their wedding day.

Venus Square Mars

Venus is the main significator in a marriage chart so it’s essential this planet is taken into careful consideration. Venus and mars are super important when it comes to sexual intimacy and synchronicity within relationships, therefore the aspect between these is also important in the wedding chart. The hard aspect between Mars and Venus can not only indicate on-going conflicts, but it can also symbolise a dissonance in ‘good timing’ for sex between the couple.

Mars conjunct Saturn

This aspect can lead to misunderstandings and feelings of neglect in the bedroom. It can also mean that forward progression and assertion of will and individuality are a struggle, resulting in the potential for repressed anger or resentment that will ultimately affect the sex life and harmony within a couple’s relationship.

Britney and Jason Alexander’s LA Wedding

In 2004, Britney Spears married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander in a chapel in Las Vegas, but the marriage only lasted 55 hours and Britney was accused by her family of having little understanding of what she was doing. It was later reported that the couple were very much in love and knew what they doing. Reports they were under the influence of drugs and alcohol were false; the only reason the wedding was annulled was due to the force of her parents, who were unhappy about it. Alexander even reported he was sent away, manipulated into signing the annulment and Spears’ phone was mysteriously cut off just 30 days later.

Sun opposite Saturn

This aspect suggests a couple may struggle to remain true to their identities within a marriage. Also, with Spears’ father so heavily involved in the annulment of the marriage, this could also suggest his control in restricting their ability to express their desires or spend any good length of time together following the wedding.

Moon square Uranus

Hard aspects to Uranus can indicate events within the marriage which were unpredictable or which may cause a couple to spend time apart under circumstances that are beyond their control. With Uranus in a partile square to the Moon, one of the most important significators or a wedding chart, we can see the potential here for unexpected trouble and the unfortunate ensuing distance between them.

The Wedding of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux dated for four years before marrying on the 5th of August 2015, yet less than three years after that, they decided to end their marriage and remain friends. The couple had an amicable split and were frequently pictured laughing together, indicating they did have lots of fun in their relationship. Let’s have a look at some of their wedding day aspects.

Venus Retrograde

Venus was retrograde on the day of Jennifer’s wedding to Justin. With Venus being the main significator in a wedding election, this can be considered very problematic. Perhaps it is that disputes from the past can resurface or there is are some extra difficulties getting in the way when it comes to love and devotion within the marriage. Either way, Venus retrograde is a general no-go when electing a wedding chart.

Venus Square Saturn

With Venus square Saturn on the day of their wedding, the flow of romantic feelings and affection may have stalled somewhat as this aspect suggests difficulties expressing these and experiences of restriction in desires of the heart. There may also have been an overwhelming sense of responsibility for them that was experienced as a tension that remained unbalanced or unresolved by other aspects.
